#Repost @banisternutritionllc · · · · 🎉Friday Intro🎉 Meet Krystal. She is our new 2019-2020 student intern. When she's not curating content for BN's social media, you can find her in the office researching, developing, and soaking in everything from the wonderful dietitians at Banister. Krystal is a graduate student at UCO studying Nutrition & Food Science. While she's interested in working with women and children, she hopes to own her own practice one day and knows the knowledge she'll gain at BN will be invaluable. . . Krystal served in the US Peace Corps from 2016-2018 in the country of Namibia. It was there she developed a deep love for understanding culture and traditions and how those impact the foods we eat. . . In her spare time, she loves to spend time with her husband, blog, and most recently has taken up food photography. She can't wait to meet you at Banister.

2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣9️⃣⏩2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣9️⃣ Dreams haven't changed, but I have. . . A decade ago I completed undergrad. Little did I know this crazy journey I'd take to end up where I am today. All of the experiences, failures, trials, heartache, challenges, love and loss have built me into the woman I am today. . . Tomorrow I complete my first year of graduate school and I'm taking on my future by storm.

On March 7, we found out my little brother has leukemia. . . Spilling my heart when life is crappy. . . Link in profile.

It usually starts with wanting to get healthy. What's the problem with that? . . First, I'll cut back on [insert food here], and then I'll only do half of [insert food here], before you know it, best intentions have spiraled into a limited food selection and guilt and fear of taking a single bite of [insert food here]. And while intentions are good, impact can be detrimental, because all you can think about is [insert food here]. . . I've been there. I've eliminated entire food groups from my life due to fear. My daily feelings were determined by a number on my scale or if I was "good" or "bad" in my intake choices. I let my body image control my emotions and mood. . . Diets don't work, y'all. Diets capitalize on insecurities (which culture has taught us what we should be insecure about). . . What if we started looking at weight as our body's way to protect us. Like, my body saying, "I know you're going through something right now, I got you." . . Intuitive Eating teaches us to make peace with food. IE gives you unconditional permission to eat. . . If you tell yourself that you can’t or shouldn’t have a particular food, it can lead to intense feelings of deprivation that build into uncontrollable cravings and, often, bingeing. . . Trust your body. It will take care of you.

🌮TACO TUESDAY 🌮 Did you know tacos are an easy way to get in a variety of nutrients in one meal? . . Tossing in some sweet potatoes can add vitamin A which is involved in immune function and vision. Adding shrimp can add omega-3s to improve cardiovascular health. Or if you prefer bbq chicken, it's great for your Texas-cred. . Serve on a some greens like broccoli slaw for vitamin C and sprinkle with cheese to boost calcium. . . . Do you Taco Tuesday?

Me: "Do you like this one or the black and white?" Hubs: "They're both black and white." He's off the market, y'all, don't you worry.

[Insert quote about journey & destinations]

Do you ever look at your childhood pictures and just smile? Do you see how much you've changed or even stayed the same? . . My friend @kelsipritchard and I realized the 90s version of us apparently lived under the same roof. Did your parents have "Coloniawful"- styled furniture? . . Take some time today and smile. You're here and that makes me happy!
